What a busy month I feel as if I have been neglecting you and me. I have not had much time to blog or to create. But I did find time this week between work, LeRoy, and my sweet precious twins. They are growing so much already. And I sure enjoy spoiling them. LOL..

So now on with the challenge. At PCC we are having a fun and buttoning challenge this week.

The challenge is "Button Up for Fall" Make a card, LO or craft project for Fall using lots of buttons and any colors you’d like.

I had so much fun making this card. And all the buttons. I made it for my mother and father-in-laws anniversary. Which is next week. I hope they and you all like it.

The flower design came from Accent Essential and cut at 3 1/2 inches.
I use my gypsy to cut two different layers.
I added four different fall colored buttons around the edge.
The ribbon is orange and tan checked.
I added two orange buttons and added several different threads .
I stamped the word forever and added a heart brad in the middle.
The flower in the center is a ivory, red, orange, and burgundy flower put together by a button brad.

I hope that I see all of your projects on the PCC blog challenge this week. So hop on over there and link up your fantastic ideas.

The weather here in Illinois is beautiful this morning. Some rain earlier but not nice and cool and a bit cloudy. Great weather for camping. But not camping this weekend. Spending the weekend at home resting, crafting and enjoying grandbabies.

This weeks challenge at PCC is: "Going to the Pumpkin Patch" Make a card, LO or craft project for Fall using Cricut cut, hand stamped, or digital stamped pumpkins, and any colors you’d like!

I had a great time looking through all the pumpkins that I have on cricut, stamps, and digi's and I settled on this one from the cartridge Mini Monsters. I just got this cart. and loving it. This pumpkin sure made me smile. I cut it at 3 1/2 inches.
The stamp was one that I got from Joann's. Then I added the four small jewels on each corner of the cut which I used a corner punch on a rectangle piece of paper.
All the papers that I used were from DCWV. Which is the biggest part on my collection.
I added stickles to the word smile.
The ribbon is one I got from a ribbon swap I participated in last year.

Here is my card:

Hope you all come and join us at Paper Cutz Challenge this week. Would love to see your projects.
